Another Democratic primary debate is in the books, and there’s two major
takeaways that I want to highlight:
The good news: A few short years ago, Medicare for All was all but laughed
off stage. But last night, it dominated the conversation on health care
once again. That’s a testament to the incredible momentum we’ve built in
the last year and something we’re incredibly proud of.
The less good news: Some candidates last night repeated the same corporate
talking points that have flooded the country in recent months.
But we have a solution: We can send a powerful, impossible-to-ignore
message that no amount of misleading talking points will stand in our way.
And that we’ll continue to fight for Medicare for All — not just at the
presidential level, but in the House and Senate too.

candidates running for office who support Medicare for All. Sign your name
today.

This country is under siege by the rich and powerful — and our current
health care system is proof of that. 87 million Americans are uninsured or
underinsured, all while the health care industry is on track to make more
than $200 billion in profits this year. Watered down proposals like a
public option won’t address this crisis — only Medicare for All will.
That’s why it’s so important that we take the time to show support for
politicians who are courageous enough to ignore the lobbyists, reject the
insurance industry and Big Pharma cash, and instead acknowledge the needs
of the people.

elected officials who are taking a stand to back Medicare for All.
Health care is a human right, not something that should be leveraged in
a billionaire-funded game of political chess. Let’s make sure we’re doing
everything we can to applaud and support the candidates who agree.
In solidarity,
